The Top Disney songs over the last 3 decades

This year's #Barathon (Blog Marathon) by Blog-A-Rhythm is themed around 'Seven' so I figured I would make lists of seven (or multiples of it) for the challenges. For today's list, I chose to go with the Best Disney Songs of All Time.

With 80 years and nearly 60 animated films, Walt Disney has a legacy that simply cannot be matched in any era when it comes to animated movies and cinematic studios. The sheer variety and scope of these movies have made us smile and given us hope in so many different forms, as we found love and life lessons in everything they gave us, be it a mermaid, a mouse, a Princess or even a lion cub.
The music and songs in these movies have included some which were not just Oscar winners but have stood the test of time across generations as well.

It is tough to sheer a list comprising hundreds of songs down to 7 (or in this case, even 14) so I am cutting the duration down to the last 3 decades of songs (1987 - 2017).

If there is competition for Elton John and 'The Lion King' for best Disney music album, it is undoubtedly from Phil Collins and the soundtrack of 'Tarzan'. Check out the amazing Two Worlds and Strangers Like Me.

You've got a Friend in Me - Toy Story

Beauty and the Beast - Beauty and the Beast

Almost There - The Princess and the Frog

Colours of the Wind - Pocahontas

Kiss the Girl - The Little Mermaid

Let it go - Frozen

Try Everything - Zootopia

How Far I'll Go - Moana

Hope you had fun and found some new gems today. Which are your all-time favourite Disney songs?

Such wonderfully melodious and meaningful songs. Some of them - like Let it Go and Circle of Life - I've heard on a loop. But I'd forgotten some of the others. Going to make a complete playlist out of these.

Such a lovely compilation of songs. I am a great fan of the Disney films and I think music actually helps to make then really memorable in the viewers' minds. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful gems here. Loving your series of 7 for the Barathon, Roshan. Keep them coming!!

I haven't seen so many of them but yes the ending of mist... That's just... I don't even have a word to describe that feeling. Prestige is an awesome movie, haven't read the book though. I want to watch silence of the lambs but well, maybe I need more guts.

Love this post! I am a Disney animation nut. I even worked at an animation studio here in Ottawa long ago in 1988 painting cartoon cells and that's how I met my husband. Those days are gone now in these digital times when they get studios in places like Korea to colour the cells. What fun it was working there with everyone all starry eyed thinking we were like Disney North. The reality was that we could barely survive on the measly pay we got.Such wonderful tunes. I could spend all morning clicking on every link to listen to these great songs. When my boys were young, I would buy all kinds of Disney faves on VHS and DVD. For the boys, of course! *wink*My oldest son is funny how he picked up some LP records at a thrift store and he was listening to music from Cinderella. Now that's an oldie but goodie. Love those old movies, too and the music is brilliant, of course in ones like Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Disney always got the best composers and musicians for his movies and the tradition continues.

Thanks for such a fun post, Roshan! My favourite movie is Beauty and the Beast and I love the music. I also enjoyed the recent live action version, too.

Sorry to be so yappy but as you can see, I love Disney animated films!

And, the award for the most entertaining blog of the year goes to...God Years, by Roshan, Radhakrishnan! Take a bow, young man! Every time I visit your blog, I come across something new, something mesmerising! Brilliant collection of songs/videos, Roshan!

Once again Roshan, you've touched a chord in my heart. Thanks for bringing back happy memories that I shared with my girls. ( Of course not the last one as we still have to see that together with the grandchildren)
